Walterstown were the defending champions for the second year in a row after they defeated Navan O'Mahonys in the previous years final, and they successfully defended their title (to claim the "3-in-a-row") when beating Skryne 2-9 to 1-7 in the final in Pairc Tailteann on the 30 September 1984. This was their 5th S.F.C. success. Gerry Cooney raised the Keegan Cup for Walterstown while Martin Barry claimed the 'Man of the Match' award.

This was Moynalvey's first ever period in the senior grade after claiming the 1983 Meath Intermediate Football Championship title.

Gaeil Colmcille and Martinstown/Athboy were regraded to the I.F.C. after 19 and 5 years as senior clubs respectively.
